Paralympic Torch visit to Dawlish
The Paralympic Torch will be at Sainsbury's Dawlish next Thursday October 4th between 12.30 and 2.30 pm. Everyone is invited to hold/touch the torch and to have their photo's taken with it...a great opportunity for the people of Dawlish and surrounding towns and villages.
I guess there are commercial reasons for it to vist Sainsbury's (and the paralympions need all the financial support they can get), but what a shame it couldn't actually be IN Dawlish!.
Could have been another great event on the Lawn perhaps?
It's visiting all branches, as Sainsbury's were the sponsors of the 2012 Paralympics. Well done to them and to all Paralympians, everyone of whom was truly inspirational. I've been fortunate enough to hold an Olympic torch, and I'm grateful to Sainsbury's for providing the opportunity for me to hold a Paralympic torch too!!!
